Podcast at MIT Press

18022009

I received an email from Johna Picco at MIT Press asking that I pass along a link to their first journal podcast, available on their website.

Featured initially in the December 2008 issue of The New England Quarterly, “From Mashantucket to Appomattox: The Native American Veterans of Connecticut’s Volunteer Regiments and the Union Army,” is a unique perspective on Native American involvement in the Civil War. Listen as author and host, David Naumec along with The New England Quarterly’s own Board of Directors, Bill Fowler, discuss Naumec’s most recent work.

You will find both the podcast, as well as Naumec’s original piece feature in The New England Quarterly.

Cool concept. I recommend reading the article first, then taking in the podcast. Hopefully we’ll be seeing more of this stuff – maybe it will help make an hour on the elliptical or treadmill a little more bearable.

Not only a very cool way to deliver content, but a very interesting topic as well. I can’t say that I have ever seen anything written about New England’s Native American population serving in the Union army.

“I am sending you these little incidents as I hear them well authenticated. They form, to the friends of the parties, part of the history of the glorious 21st. More anon.”

About

Hello! I’m Harry Smeltzer and welcome to Bull Runnings, where you'll find my digital history project on the First Battle of Bull Run which is organized under the Bull Run Resources section. I'll also post my thoughts on the processes behind the project and commentary on the campaign, but pretty much all things Civil War are fair game. You'll only find musings on my “real job” or my personal life when they relate to this project. My mother always told me "never discuss politics or religion in mixed company”, and that's sound advice where current events are concerned.

The Project

This site is more than a blog. Bull Runnings also hosts digitized material pertaining to First Bull Run. In the Bull Run Resources link in the masthead and also listed below are links to Orders of Battle, After Action Reports, Official Correspondence, Biographical Sketches, Diaries, Letters, Memoirs, Newspaper Accounts and much, much more. Take some time to surf through the material. This is a work in process with no end in sight, so check back often!
